BUGS

lshw currently does not detect Firewire(IEEE1394) devices.
Not all architectures supported by GNU/Linux are fully supported (e.g.
CPU detection).
"Virtual" SCSI interfaces used for SCSI emulation over IDE are not
reported correctly yet.

NOTES

lshw must be run as super user or it will only report partial
information.

FILES

/usr/local/share/pci.ids/usr/share/pci.ids/etc/pci.ids/usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids

subclasses).
/proc/bus/pci/*
Used to access the configuration of installed PCI busses and
devices.
/proc/ide/*
Used to access the configuration of installed IDE busses and
devices.
/proc/scsi/*,/dev/sg*
